UPDATED JULY 9

http://www.modwiki.net

Doom3reference.com has been retired in favor of modwiki.net, since it contains far more useful information, and is much more practical.

Wow nice! Did you write a parser for that?

A search+replace replacing spaces with tabs did so much wonders for excel, then just a little cut-n-paste and cleaning up was needed and then mysql swallowed it whole.

Nice resource

I am using it to work on my Wiki. I have come across a few problems though (in the Actors category) where the comment you put from doom_events.script does not match up with the actual comment. For example: your getPainAnim page. Just thought I would point that out so you could fix it. There are a few other pages with this problem, all under the Actors category.

Oops, fixed

Thanks!

BTW if you want all the info in a more digestible format, here are the CSV files I made.

Thanks. Maybe that will make things easier for me

Excellent, thanks a bunch!

I'm a bit annoyed that some of the events don't have comments for explanations, I suppose you can always find out by testing it or whatever.

iceheart,

I only briefly checked the doom3reference site a couple of times but I never could interpret the way the command syntax is stated. It looks more like the name of the command function in the game source code itself than the actual command usage syntax to me. For example, wouldn't something like...

Code:

Syntax:

void activate( entity activator )

...be a lot more useful if expressed along the lines of something like?....

Syntax:

$entityname.activate($activator);

Just a suggestion.

He's using a traditional format for command references. It works like this...

Code:

void activate( entity activator )

void - Data type this function returns
activate - The name of the command
entity - The data type expected of the parameter
activator - A one-word description of the parameter

An example would be the place where something like ...

Code:

$entityname.activate($activator);

... would be best suited.

Rich is completely correct, just a clarification on "What this function returns", it's the return data type more specifically.

And yes, I'm going to write a "help" section some time

Fixed.
